Whole lotta Tavors for sale.

Pre-coffee quote comes to mind. Something about "If people had any idea how the financial system actually worked, there'd be a revolution before morning."

Maybe it wouldn't even matter, as once you get a guy who came up making $5.00/hr slinging hay bales and manure, who then starts pulling in 15k/month in the trades..

all brains go right out the window! (along with every penny you make, anyways) $2500/month comes in, same goes out. $15000/month comes in, same goes out.


May as well move to Greece, and take up "scrounging on the beaches" for a living.

Damn Tavor's, I hate mine - I was supposed to have been signed up for a Hollywood movie by now and on everyone's "A" list!!! Anyone want a Tavor, going cheap, only 50 rounds though it! :p

Seems to be a few butt hurt people on here that anyone owns this rifle! Buy what you like (and can afford), don't worry about what others may or may not have...geezzzzz.
 
Weird, wanting to be happy about the good prices, but then knowing it comes at "our guys" misfortunes.

If what is happening to Alberta oil, starts happening to Ontario housing, then "we" are all in some pretty deep trouble.
 
I love my Tavor ! I am going to be going back to school soon and could certainly use a extra couple grand but sell my Tavor I really really really don't want to and I am not planning on selling it ever ! I have the Super Sabra trigger and new trigger bow as well and it makes the Tavor just hands down awesome ! It is expensive sure but its also non restricted and it uses Beowulf magazines and for reliability and easy of maintenance the Tavor is pretty much without equal. It is a gun just for shooting around for fun and being 5.56mm you can feed it any .223 or 5.56 ammo which is one of the cheapest ammos you can get and it will make it go boom every trigger pull guaranteed.

Unless I lost my job and had absolutely no other choice I am keeping mine but there are a few people probably in that situation and more going to be in that situation if the oil patch stays at minimum levels so I can see people selling off their shiny toys because they really have no other option and selling your Tavor is a couple grand back in the bank to pay your mortgage and truck payment for another month. Tavors are not a T97 and people are not dumping them because they are garbage they are selling them for the most part because they need the $2000 for other things in life.
 
The novelty of them has worn off for some guys. The dollar makes it so they are getting at least what they paid - at Xmas you could getva new tavor shipped for 2150-2250. The whole EE is crazy for the resale people expect, but that's just my thoughts
 
Many but not all... For any reasons mentionned before, the Tavor just never apealled to me... Period. JP.

I actually just took a look at the EE for them and I would say there is actually less than a half dozen ads that are actually active. If people actually bothered to update their ad after it was sold I think the list would be pretty short.
 
There is a segment of CGN subscribers that buy/try any and every new gun on the market only to flip it after minimal useage. They often load it up with all the after market add-ons they can find (usually top end) then find out they still aren't the super shooters the gun was supposed to make them into.

I've purchased several gun from such people off the EE, a couple actually telling me a version of the above. They've got the time and disposable income to indulge, so their loss is someone else's gain.

Another reason for flipping is that the Tavor requires re-learning as most of us are new to the Bull Pup configuration.

:agree: These things go in cycles. Several months ago I was looking for an RFB. There were lots of them listed in the EE just before I decided I wanted one. When I finally made the jump....NOTHING. Couldn't find one to save my soul. I finally got it by posting a WTB. This is the same thing. A few weeks from now there will be like two listed & everyone will wonder where all the Tavors went. If widespread money issues were the reason how come there aren't large quantities of other expensive black guns for sale? Buy now, prices aren't going much lower.

I'm lucky - I was born and raised in AB (mostly Calgary), I'd seen the cycle enough times by the time I was out of High School that I learned an important lesson - f@ck the oilpatch jobs, stay the hell away from it and let them import Wheatheads and Newfies to throw into the meat grinder. So, you know, I'm riding this out in style while a lot of friends... Aren't.

I almost feel guilty about the guns I've picked up on the cheap over the past couple months. Almost. The pattern is so dang regular, that if you're in the patch and not banking cash, it's on you when the carousel stops and everyone has to get off.

There are a lot of people who are still hanging on in the industry who are deluding themselves about how bad it's going to get.

Last year, there were 250 abandoned well heads in the province. Right now, it stands at 750 - and climbing. Those are completed wells that that owners can't even afford to turn on and make pump, to the point where they fold the straw company that owns the well and abandon the land, mineral rights, equipment on the land... Everything.

At first, I was thinking that it was going to be equivalent to the late 90's slump. But with the Notley Commies in power upping corporate taxes and minimum wages and rumbling about "Royalty Review" (read: they're going to jack up the extraction fees through the roof) - this is going to work out to be as bad as the 80's National Energy Program collapse.

The ripple effects are going to be felt across the country.

Sadly Alberta is full of former Saskatchewan people who left Saskatchewan when things were bad under the NDP, then they moved to Alberta where they take part in electing Comrad Notley. While I feel for all of Alberta under The Orange Crush rule, I am happy for what it should bring to us that stayed here in Saskatchewan and elected a business friendly government finally. A reminder to not elect the NDP's again any time soon, and the flood of oil exploration! Too bad its at my friends in Alberta's expense........
